This is a wonderful restaurant. My son and I visited Havana and stayed in a small hotel near this establishment. We absolutely loved it, if fact so much we ate there several times. Their Ropa Viejo is to die for and their pasta with lobster...is a reason to eat there. Additionally, their drinks are excellent, beer is very cold, and they have good wine. Their dessert selection is not to be missed. Their service is truly outstanding and the manager, Jorge, will ensure your visit is perfect. I firmly believe that it is a world class restaurant, not to be missed.More

The food here is good but the service is awful in multiple ways. I went here regularly with my wife, and although thry often took a long time to give the bill and seat people, we nevertheless enjoyed the food. However, due to the offensive...machista service during our last visit who offended my wife and made her feel uncomfortable. I will never return.More

Very good service and value. The food was very tasty and well presented. Food here is much better than at much pricier restaurants in Havana. The menu is very diverse. Service was fast and courteous. The food came quick. This is a favorite among locals...and tourists as well.More

We tried the local food and it was excellent. Fresh and so much flavour. The portions are not huge, but it was enough as we were not super hungry. Prices were ok, although it took forever to pay the bill. Recommended for a calm night...dinner.More

I ordered Ropa Vieja and it only come with only one side: I chose Moros y Cristianos. When I was served the Ropa vieja was medium cold and the Moros had NO BEANS, 0! I pointed that out to the waiter and his response was...that some people are allergic to beans! I guess if one is allergic to beans there is no way one will order it, don't you think? A friend that was with me ordered the fish fillet with its one side. I had visited another restaurant in town a couple of days earlier (Los Nardos) and ordered that same dish. My plate at Los Nardos had 3 sides and the fillet (same fish, Emperador) was twice as big, and the price was half cheaper!More

Biky had some great dishes. The Ropa Vieja was one of the best that I had in Cuba. The Lamb in wine sauce was very good. The pizza was good (for Cuba). The viandas fritas were great. Cuban hash was very good. On the downside,...the sandwiches were pretty mediocre.More

We made a special effort to come visit this restaurant because it had such great reviews, but unfortunately our experience was very different. Before even entering the restaurant there was a feeling that we weren't welcome. There was a man standing in front of the...door, like at most restaurants in Cuba, but instead of ushering us in - I had to ask if we could dine there and he didn't even open the door for us. We brushed it off and assumed it was just a difference of cultures and went inside to enjoy a meal. From there we were handed menus in Spanish. My husband and I did our best to try to decipher the various options, but neither of us are fluent in Spanish, so we had many questions for our waiter. He was visibly annoyed by our questions and eventually told us, "just order something, it all tastes good" . We followed his advice and haphazardly picked items off the menu that we couldn't fully understand. Our food came and it was fine. The portions were large, and it seemed to be cooked well, but it wasn't worth the cost of the taxi to get there or the uncomfortable ambiance of feeling unwanted. After we finished our meals, no one came to ask if we wanted anything else. I had to ask several times for the check, and still we were ignored for at least 20 minutes. During that time another tourist came in, and as we were sitting quite close to the entrance I overheard her conversation with the manager. She was from Canada, and the manager immediately offered her a menu in English. I thought back on how visibly irritated our waiter was with all of our questions about the menu that we couldn't understand and was confused about why we were never offered a menu in English. So when he walked by again, I asked him in Spanish "Do you have an English menu" and he chuckled and responded "yes". We are truly confused as to why we received such poor service and made to feel unwelcome. I have to assume it's because we are American's and before we ordered I asked if we could pay in USD. Culturally, I'm not sure if that's a rude question, but up until that point on our trip to Havana, it had been common for restaurants to accept USD, and from everything we heard from locals they often prefer USD. I just wanted to make sure before we racked up a bill, because I was running low on CUP. Again, the food was fine, but nothing to write home about. The awful service and hostility we received will be remembered forever. I wouldn't recommend visiting this restaurant during your trip to Havana, unless you're interested in being treated like garbage and enjoy mediocre food. Instead I would recommend visiting one of these establishments who have excellent food and kind, personable staff: JaMa, Cafe Bohemia, El Cafe, Los Mercaderes, Esto no es un cafe, El del Frente, and Lo de Monik.More
